ABS-CBN’s longest-running kiddie gag show, “Goin’ Bulilit” strengthens its campaign for fun-filled and wackier Sunday nights starting this week as it welcomes nine kids as part of its cast.

“Most of the kids are only five years old so the viewers can expect spontaneous antics from these cute bulilits” says Ricky Victoria, Creative Manager of “Goin’ Bulilit.”

The show has been tickling the young and young-at-heart for more than eight years now. When it marked its anniversary last February, another batch of grown-up kids ‘graduated’ from the program. This group included Kobi Vidanes, Joseph Andre Garcia, Aaron Juntas, Alexa Ilacad and Angel Sy.

In the same month, auditions were held to discover a new batch of child stars that will complete the cast lineup. Thousands of kids flocked in the auditions, from which only 12 children were chosen.

Victoria says, “After a series of meticulous workshops, the list was narrowed down to nine kids.”

Victoria also says that the kids were chosen on the basis of their acting, singing and dancing skills, as well as natural ‘charm’ and ‘charisma.’
